50 Funny And Relatable Memes To Scroll Through While Your Social Battery Is Charging (New Pics)
If your favorite sound is the sigh of relief when plans get canceled, your favorite smell is a scented candle burning in an empty apartment, and your favorite hobby is anything you can do in peaceful silence—welcome. You’re in the right place.
We’ve put together a collection of memes from the Facebook page All About Introverts that celebrate both the art and occasional pains of introverted life. The best part? You don’t have to interact with anyone unless you want to. Just sit back, relax, and scroll.

I wish I'd had the presence of mind to answer with that when put on the spot in lectures... naturally, I was too busy trying to reboot my brain at the time.
It's something that takes practice. Start saying it when you're under less stress & you'll eventually be able to say it when there's more stress.

Jesus felt that, didn't he, my dearest, lovely, wonderful friends?????
I make grunting/groaning noises when I get out of a chair. Probably more to list, but I'm having a senior moment.
I do the same. The other day I made a massive noise when I sat down in my car. I quickly checked to make sure no one was looking at me strangely.
Load More Replies...Make myself a cup of coffee, and read the news. So that I may prepare myself for whatever fresh new sweet crunchy hell of idiocy that I may actually encounter, when I venture outside, away from my kitties.
Take my time. Mend clothes. Don't buy fast fashion. Don't try to be cool. Read.
Usually right after I drop my daughter off at school not many people at Walmart or price chopper at 830 am
We do NOT normally get going very early, but, we found shopping at the chain grocery store at 8-9 a.m. is GREAT! Most everything is on the shelves opposed to 4 pm.
In ancient times, the stores were open 24 hours and we would shop at 2 a.m.
Load More Replies...If I get to the local grocery store by about 7:30, the donuts will still be fresh and warm right out of the oven--and far superior to what you get at Dunkin these days.
This post isn’t here to tell you that these memes are only relatable if you’re a textbook introvert. It’s not here to say introverts are better than extroverts, or the other way around. But if there’s one thing to take away from this, it’s that the introvert lifestyle is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, it’s something worth embracing. Let’s talk about why.
As an extrovert (for the most part), I can tell you I have definitely been told those things lol
Yet another post by someone who doesn't know what being an introvert is. I'm an introvert and will quite often talk too much. It doesn't mean being a quiet person, nor does it mean being shy.
One thing that definitely defines an introvert is needing quietness and solitude to recharge, also all introverts are not the same, some introverts are absolutely quiet in large groups and prefer to listen instead of talk.
Load More Replies...I get told to read the room all the time. I didn't ask to have such a great sense of humor, Karen.
At 13, I was at my godmother's, waiting for the bus. Neither she nor her friend tried to start a conversation with me, so I sat there silently. The friend looked at me and asked my godmother: why is she such a savage? Extroverts think we owe them attention and it's really crazy.
I am an introvert. Meaning I recharge by being by myself. If I’m in a group I talk. And am loud. And in fact can’t stop talking bc I have ADHD. Do I want to be the center of attention in a loud party? No. I will be exhausted after. I hate these memes who equate being shy, or not social, with introversion.
Actually you and I are called Ambiverts. Introverts who aren't shy but still get drained by other people.
Load More Replies...Or how about when extroverts dominate the conversation and the introverts can't get a word in edgeways even if they wanted to.
Introverts reserve the right to let extroverts remove the doubt their stupidity.
I should carry a card to hand people when i get going, telling them to interrupt and just say "not that interested", and I won't be offended.
You don't need to be an introvert to not want to talk to the wrong people!
I found someone once, then she died. Found out she talked hella bs behind my back and lied to me frequently. I trusted her and she wasn't really my friend after all. I would've still been friends with her if she was still alive and I doubt that her son and nephew would've ever told me while she was around. She couldn't get mad at them for telling me anymore, so they spilled the gd beans. Bs like that makes it hard to want to get close to people. We were "friends", treated her like family, for 7 years
I found the right person, then she died. Found out she really didn't like me and she was a bs liar
The word introvert comes from the Latin intro (“inward, within”) and vertere (“to turn”), meaning “to turn inward.” When I think about that, I picture a snail, and I mean that in the best way. A little creature that, when it senses danger or discomfort, can retreat into its shell. But when it feels safe, it becomes curious, exploring the world around it. And as soft as they are, snails are surprisingly strong, able to lift up to 10 times their body weight.
Unknown numbers ring you because they want something from you. Known numbers ring for the same reason, but you're supposed to take their calls. I can't remember why.
A guy went missing for 24 hours on a hike. He repeatedly ignored calls from rescuers because it was an unknown number. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/oct/26/hiker-lost-on-us-mountain-ignored-calls-from-rescuers-because-he-didnt-recognise-the-number
There's avoiding scammers, then there is being an idiot.
Load More Replies...Sometimes caller-id shows the word UNAVAILABLE. OK, I'll take your word on that.
I was always told not to answer an unknown number, or even to reject the call--because if it is someone just cold calling or phishing, that let's them know it is an active line, and you'll be added to more lists. By letting it just ring though, they'll never know if it's an inactive or unassigned number and will stop calling. If it's legit, they should leave a voicemail.
lately I've been using telemarketers for verbal punching bags I find it relaxes me.
I never answer any calls that are not in my contacts list, if it's important, leave a message. Sometimes, even if you're in my contacts, I won't answer because sometimes, I just don't feel like talking to anyone.
Unknown numbers are automatically blocked. Sure, it might be someone I know using an unknown phone, but I'm not going to change my habits on the off chance.
Introverts aren't the only people who deserve this wonderful gift. 5 black cats. Amazing.
"If you stare long enough into the voids, the voids stare back into you."
I fear a billion, more money the more people I can help
Load More Replies...I fear having a peaceful, comfortable retirement, living with my husband in a house we both love, in a reliably blue political area.
That’s how I see introversion: a mix of sensitivity, strong intuition, and deep awareness. Experiencing the world this way can be emotionally exhausting, which is why introverts need time alone to recharge. Like a snail that hides inside its shell when it feels vulnerable, introverts retreat to protect their energy, rebuild their strength, and stay connected to their true selves.
A weighted blanket is a great self-gift for people on the stay. Get one for the bed and snuggle into the sensation of being hugged, and get a smaller one for additional comfort in the easy chair.
Hint - they're selling what they have. It's probably not what you want, so it's OK to ignore them. Start by turning the sound off during the adverts. It's even legal !
Some a.sshole asked me. "Do you talk"? My response was, "Say something intelligent". They shut-up and walked away.
"You're awfully quiet." "Sometimes you have lead by example."
Load More Replies..."Everyone has the right to remain silent, but few have the ability."
I'd probably talk more if you folks shut up for at least 15 seconds so I could jump in. But, if all you have to chat about is banal stuff or gossip, I'll continue my silent routine.
I recently described a new coworker as "someone that talks a lot, but doesn't say much".
She'll be gone someday & you'll wish you rang her more often
Load More Replies...That's why I always make appointments no later than 10:00a.m. Afternoon appts. just make the whole day weird.
I'm up all night because I have a commitment tomorrow- afternoon.
I'm already psyching myself up to go out to the grocery store in 48-hrs. It's not so much introvertism as it is my distrust of humans. Going into public means being surrounded by unpredictable people who could do anything in a second.
Where do you live it sounds dangerous 😞
Load More Replies...I thought that was only me. An appointment should be first thing so I come Home by midday and lock away. ,. Shoes off/ bra off/ into lounge wear and sheer bliss . Don’t want a 4pm diary date.. just hanging over ur head all day and can’t make plans, by plans I mean cooking times and films for the night
Of course, it’s easy to laugh about how much anxiety ordering a pizza over the phone used to cause (thank goodness for delivery apps), or how awkward it feels to make small talk at a party (if you even make it there). But introversion truly comes with real strengths, like the ability to listen, which is just as important, if not more so, than being able to talk.
There should be an area like this in every restaurant. Like there used to be a separate smoking area.
Very uncomfortable seating. Bar stools without rungs at proper heights and with the tables being way too high, sheesh.
not full height bar stools. Those are the low version where you can reach the floor while seated or almost reach depending on your legs. Also the height of the table isn't as high as it looks either. The chain is called Ichiran, btw
Load More Replies...they'd each be in a different corner, but, apart from that, good picture
Sometimes we do cluster then bolt together, if we know each other.
Load More Replies...Is it just me, or does BP post an awful lot about introverts? How 'bout some posts on how annoying extroverts are at work, social occasions, in apartments, and well, life in general.
Looks like they all had a bump and now they're seeing the music and smelling sounds lol
You can just leave....stand find a door and go out .......the Irish goodbye
Watching the birds in the garden. And the cat in the house. And keeping things that way round.
I was going to say read! Don't interrupt my reading time lol
Load More Replies...At my age, very little out there holds my interest anymore. Besides, all my stuff that does hold my interest is in my flat. Where can I go that has a comfortable recliner, a frig filled with food, and a clean toilet?
my mother once told me i needed to get out more--after I retired. i told her that i was perfectly happy finally being able to enjoy the home I worked so hard to pay off! It sucked to only be able to sleep there for all those years.
Extroverted people tend to jump into conversations before fully processing what’s been said, not because they’re selfish, but because they process information interactively, explains Dr. Laurie Helgoe, author of Introvert Power: Why Your Hidden Life is Your Hidden Strength, in an interview with Time magazine.
Introverts, on the other hand, process information internally, Helgoe says. This allows them to listen, absorb, and respond with thoughtful insights.
Bumping into someone unexpectedly in public takes me right out of the zone I've prepared for a couple of days. I become the proverbial deer in the headlights.
One way to manage this is 'right of refusal.' "Bob, we realize you may not make it but we wanted you to know you're welcome."
Although I can tell you from experience they eventually stop asking. :(
I had jury duty and was close to a panic attack as the judge interviewed everyone. The idea of everyone staring at me while I had to speak was too much. He got within two people in front of me and had all twelve selected. I almost peed my pants!
I did jury duty in the UK and as we sat there I thought I hope they pick 12 before they get to me........ My name came out first, obviously!
Load More Replies...Just say what your job is and maybe add your age. You don't have to bleed your personal life all over the carpet. Maybe practice a script you're happy to share? Then stop.
I hate icebreaker type activities, the ones where they pair you up with a stranger, give you a few minutes to ask a set of questions, then report back to the group. Also role play activities.
I'm fine doing this as long as you aren't finicky about stuff like the truth.
I stutter and I promise this is not bright enough for me. Not even close.
I have anxiety all the time when i have stress and when I'm also depressed.
Because introverts often feel more comfortable listening than speaking, they tend to choose their words carefully, says Beth Buelow, author of The Introvert Entrepreneur: Amplify Your Strengths and Create Success on Your Own Terms. “We only speak when we have something to say, so there is a higher chance that we will have an impact with our words,” she tells Time.
During lockdown my son said, "Spending the day home, not interacting with people - normal life then?"
TBH, not much has changed for me since the quarantine. I enjoyed the isolation enough to keep it going.
I was free to go wherever I wanted and the streets were empty. i only had to wear a mask so I picked a cool one so, yeah, I sorta miss it
My daughter went crazy during covid due her extrovertedness and not people I was happy as a clam
The perfect partner is the one who doesn't feel like company. They're just there.
I am this person. But my husband comes home wanting to talk. Wah!
Load More Replies...My husband respects that I need at least a half hour of silence when I get home from pretty much any away from home time. Good man
My husband knows to give me 30 minutes before he talks to me when I get home. LOL
It's all good if you can be yourself in response, even if that just means a nod or raised eyebrow or two, without actually saying anything unless you feel like it.
I married an introvert. It works because he settles me down and I bring him up. We make each other very happy.
Introverts also tend to be highly observant. They’re tuned into facial expressions, body language, and the emotional undercurrents in a room—skills that make them excellent at real communication, even if we usually associate that trait with extroversion.
Since they notice when others are thinking, processing, or needing space, introverts often help people feel more seen and comfortable, says Dr. Jennifer Kahnweiler, author of The Introverted Leader: Building on Your Quiet Strength. “They allow time to really connect with people,” she explains.
A friend of mine told someone who had just met me "She's really cool, but she takes a while to warm up. And she's better in small groups." That person gave me the time and we became good friends. :)
Where do they get off showing that I'm on line? I want to lurk in peace.
It’s no surprise, then, that introverts often make deeply loyal and thoughtful friends. Because being around people can drain their energy, introverts are careful about who they let into their inner circle. They prefer a few close, meaningful friendships over a large social network. If you have an introvert in your life, you should feel proud. You made them feel safe enough to trust you.
It's like I always say, if you don't have to call me, text me, and if you can't text me, yes you can.
Especially now they can voice text and I can type text back. Everyone wins. Make calling obsolete
Load More Replies...Why respond? That's what voicemail and texting are for.
Load More Replies...I can't help thinking that, when a skeleton drinks, it's going to get messy ...
I'm not even an introvert, but I can feel this one. I work retail... )
Introverts are also incredible romantic partners. They value personal space, both their own and their partner’s, and they can sense when someone needs time to recharge. “Because we have this need for our own privacy, we give that to others as well,” says Buelow. “We won’t be super clingy or high maintenance in relationships.”
The pic is unrealistic in that it shows it all happening in one moment instead of stretching over days of worrying about it.
There should be an automatic yearly check up for humans like MOT for cars
Find a Practice where you can book online, or is that not a thing in the US?
I hate going to doctors, or dentists office. Worse, the ER! I try to find a corner to hide in, but someone always starts a conversation, always. During the whole conversation I'm like, when are they going to call me? Can I just get up, and leave? My anxiety goes through the roof! So, yeah .... When it comes to making appointments, I drag my feet until I absolutely have to go.
Yepper. If you just sleep at home stay in a hotel. You have a house/apartment to live in.
Staycations in a decent local hotel is awesome for a recharge if you can't afford a vacation.
Load More Replies...That's me every single day on the weekend just being comfy on my bed.
Bottom line: introverts rock. There’s so much we can learn from them, and the world is genuinely better for having them in it. If it were filled entirely with extroverts, life would probably be a lot louder and a lot more exhausting. So go show your favorite introvert some love. And if you are one? Go ahead and give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back. You’ve earned it.
Kind of what my Minecraft house (one of many) looked like. Built in a cave, with only a waterfall entrance, a boatload of farms, and then the two other players together somewhere else
I have been in conversations so often looking desperately for things I could say. And remained quiet.
Nooo where do you keep all the stuff that lives on the passenger seat like tissues, toffee, sunglasses...
Yeah, I've watched enough 'cabin in the woods' videos & films to know that's not a great idea
I don't care if I get m******d as long as they don't try and talk to me
Load More Replies...sometimes I am the introvert, sometimes I am the extrovert.
Load More Replies..."An extrovert found them" is also how an introvert can find a spouse, even for men.
It's how I got married. 😄 They were so charismatic and nice to be around, so I thought: I want to be friends with this person. I guess it all worked out, I have my friend, but I was always planing on being single my whole life.
Load More Replies...I've heard this term many times. What does "adopt" mean for extrovert-introvert relations?
add, don't replace. Taking your houseplant for a walk is weird, and gets you talked about. As an introvert, you do *not* want this.
Load More Replies...That's why I like reading history. Such interesting people, and they're all gone.
Nope. My people are fine. Other people I don't even want to see through a window.
I come from a long line of survivors, as we all do. Billions of years. I feel like I have let them all down. All that struggle just to end in me? What a wasted effort.
Made the mistake of giving my number to a former classmate from 40 years ago. After the 2nd 'tinfoil hat' text, I've ghosted him.
Or go with a Dad-style "Well you just did but it didn't work out". Ching.
Once again, being an introvert does not necessarily mean you are a quiet person.
But a lot are - so you're dismissing their experience to substitute your own.
Load More Replies...MY phone switches to silent all by itself. I think it's grounding me or something.
I read an article about the correlation between having phone on silent and empathy. An old woman in the shop had the loudest phone ring, the song was disco polo (a cancer and a hate crime against music) and she let it ring forever. Just tell people you hate them, lady, that's faster.
It's not missing, it's staring at my phone and waiting for it to stop ringing.
An introvert was invited to a costume party. She told the host she'd be coming as Amelia Earhart.
danger is, some optimists will read this as "Not going, but staying here with you"
Bottom picture makes him look like Dennis Rader. Very creepy to me.
In that still, the monster looks to me like Johnny Depp as Grindelwald.
Owns up - I talk to the self-checkout machine. It doesn't bother me, though.
99% only shop at places where you can use hand scanner in store! Now way I'm packing everything in a cart, then up at checkout, then down into bags, then up again at home! malm-swede...BCHT-1.jpg
I live in a very rural area. I've already seen pictures of most of the grandparents' grandkids multiple times. The self-checkouts are such a blessing.
Just make sure you buy a squirrel! maxresdefault-3.jpg
🙃👍
My favorite is a place having 10 self-checkouts open, but they’re 10 items or less, and only 1 cashier register with the chattiest cashier they have. I don’t generally mind gong to a cashier, but there are days I really don’t want the extra stimulus, and I also don’t want to be in line for 20 minutes because I have more than 10 items.
Both me and my mom are introverts but my brother is an extrovert. Me and my mom and my brother were going grocery shopping. And, me and my mom started going towards the self-checkout. My brother said, "Those are farther away. Why don't we just go to the regular checkouts over here?" Both me and my mom at the same time were like, "No!" Like, seriously, just no. It's out of the question
Give your bed a nickname - maybe "family" ? so you can truthfully say "I was visiting Family, everyone was fine.". Leave the electric blanket on and you'll always get a warm reception !
I worked in the same office for 9 years and answered “too short” every Monday morning without ever elaborating further. They never stopped asking, it’s a British compulsion I think. But my answer was always true.
Load More Replies..."I spent the weekend doing door-to-door missionary work for my church. BTW, have you found our lord and savior?" They will never ask again.
I don’t lolll, I just say, “I slept haha” and almost every time the other person will say “Sammme” or “lucky haha” and it’s a win win.
I'm usually only up for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I've got to do it again next month for my granddaughter's college graduation.
Thanksgiving and Christmas used to be hell because they were too close together. Not nearly enough time to recover from my relatives.
Nah, these days everybody does it. They've got those earbud things for their phones.
Load More Replies...This really gets the point across if they know the number they called is your land line.
Hi, I'd like to sue for harassment... Yes, someone snuck into my home and took a photo of me... Yeah, they posted it on BP...
My spring allergies just kicked in and this was me yesterday. Today, I made it to the living room. Snerrgaaahcough!
"Time and tides wait for no one my a$$. Try getting away now, Tidey."
Introvert would not be there to ask that question in the first place!
A true introvert would have fled the room screaming before getting to the end of that list.
Warning - this is a teaser, we all just have to decipher that label at the bottom, and the next step is, we're visiting their website! Devilish cunning ...
I do this automatically. It's already got me out of "Three Weddings and a Funeral"
I usually wait until the first person leaves, give it 1 minute, and make my excuses. I can beat the first to leave out of the driveway
I keep on thinking of Edward getting dressed , then I get confused why his clothes aren't torn
Yet another bunch of posts showing there are many people who don't know what introversion is. It doesn't mean being shy, socially anxious, or quiet. These things are not mutually exclusive, but they aren't the same. I'm an introvert who is not shy. I am naturally quiet, but will be a chatterbox a lot of the time. I'm socially anxious, but not because I don't like or fear talking to people in general. It's because I'm autistic and I realized in my 30s that I was socially awkward and sometimes accidentally tactless, so I watch very word like a hawk and that is what makes me anxious.
It’s a wide term, there are lots of ways you can be introverted.
Load More Replies...I don't know which is worse - seeing the same memes over and over and over, or seeing the same attention hogs with the overwhelming impulse to make the same stupid comments over and over and over.
I'm new to Bored Panda and I thought these were funny! First time seeing most of them for me... and maybe some other folks as well.
